Mr. Speaker, the simple answer is no, I do not agree with the hon. member's assumptions that we have interfered in provincial areas of educational responsibilities.
The kind of rhetoric I heard just a moment ago even if it came from a man as he has just mentioned does not surprise me. We hear that kind of rhetoric in this House. I am surprised that people in the position this gentleman is referring to would allude to such rhetoric, because I believe what we have attempted to do is to assist those who are being educated in our society. We are creating an incentive for them to go on to further education. We are doing this aside from the programs that are already in place through normal scholarships.
I do not believe that the students of today are the ones who are using this kind of rhetoric. I am rather appalled that we would find people in this House saying this, because we have not. We have made this fund available to Canadians everywhere in Canada, including the province of Quebec.
